May cruise is firm and we plan to start will start on May 25th. Present plan is for 14 days: 
o San Carlos Bay (near Ding Darling) 
o Marco Island (Public Marina near Marco Island YC) 
o Overnight sail to Key West (80 nm) 
o Key West 3 nights (over Memorial Weekend). If there is a sufficient weather window we are considering venturing out to the Dry Tortuga National Park), if not then sail back to Marco Island and pick up the return route to Ft Myers etc. 
o Marquesas Key 1 night (anchor stop over 30 nm from Key West) 
o Dry Tortugas 2 nights (anchor after registration with National Park Rangers) 
o Sail to Marco Island (22hrs, 112 nm) This is easier than sailing East back to Key West, depends on wind conditions) 
o Ft Myers Beach (Dock at Pink Shell- 2 nights?) 
o Pelican Bay (anchor overnight) 
o Venice
